Spicy Barbecue Sauce
Ingredients
Makes 2 Jars
- 1kg Fresh Tomatoes
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 2 Onions
- 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1½ tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Ground Coriander
- 1 tsp Mustard Powder
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1½ tsp Ground Ginger
- 1½ Chilli Flakes
- 1½ Cayenne Pepper
- 3 tsp Salt
- 125ml Apple Cider Vinegar
- 125ml Balsamic Vinegar
- 200g Dark Muscovado Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Tomato Puree
Method
-
Roughly chop the Onions and Garlic, fry in a large saucepan on a medium heat until softened. Add the salt and spices then cook for a further minute until fragrant.
-
Add the Fresh Tomatoes and cook for around 5 minutes on a medium to high heat, to release the juices from the Tomatoes.
-
Add the Sugar and Vinegars to the pan, turn down the heat and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally until the sauce begins to thicken.
-
Add the Tomato Puree and blend the sauce until smooth, return the sauce to a clean pan and reduce the sauce until you are happy with the consistency.
-
Check the seasoning and adjust the sauce to your liking. If you prefer the sauce a little sweeter add ½ Tablespoon of Honey, if you prefer the sauce a little spicier add a dash of Tabasco or a pinch of Chilli Flakes or if you prefer the sauce a little more Acidic add a little more Apple Cider Vinegar.
